The Four to One Rule of Conflict!-!!!! (with two cute bugs to illustrate)

If you ever fuss with friends, co-workers or family, and especially if you're going to be with family this year over the Holidays, you're going to be very glad you found this. :)

When we're irritated or angry, it's very easy to believe we're completely in the right and the other person is completely in the wrong. However, I've decided the odds are 4 to 1 against it, especially in conflicts with friends, coworkers and family members. (See the possibilities below.)

 

Take a look at the possibilities. See for yourself.

  1. You are 100% right, they are 100% wrong.
  2. They are 100% right, you are 100% wrong.
  3. You are both partly right and partly wrong.
  4. You are both right.
  5. You are both wrong. (my personal favorite)

When you view this full size, you can see two teensy tiny little clover blossom bugs. One is near the top of the blossom, the other looks like an adorable upside down alien, near the bottom. If they were people instead of bugs, in no time at all, one would be bragging to the other that their spot was the best spot on the flower. The other would defiantly disagree. Which of course would be an example of number four on the list, "you are both right." Both spots on the flower are the best spots, because it's strictly a matter of opinion.

I learned the four to one rule from reading for you girls. But I copyright it because it took five very different readings in one day to cause me to see it.  Then last week on "House" I noticed he mentioned two of them. That struck me as coincidental magic because, as those of you I've read for know, I've gotta lot of Dr. House in my nature. :)

One of the most amazing things about a certain good friend of mine is that after a disagreement, we can both sit back not like adversarial lawyers, but more like convening Judges and disect the disagreement together. Some bits and pieces of our disecting conversations are:

"I was wrong there...." "You think so? Really? Explain, I missed it."

"You shouldn't have said....." "You're right, and not only shouldn't I have said it, that's not even the way I feel either...."

"You were so funny when you said...." (giggling with delight) "yeah and I about died when you said....!!"

Anytime you have a friend or loved one that can have conversations with you like that after a disagreement, that is a person worth keeping.

We all know people who are never, ever, ever wrong (to hear them tell it!) and I wanted to remind myself and you too, please, always remember the 4 to 1 rule. The odds are 4 to 1 against you being completely right and them being completely wrong. One more thought, next time you notice someone admitting they weren't the only one in the right, completely fair, or that (challenge of all challenges) they were even completely in the wrong...... REWARD THAT PERSON. Especially if it's you. People that can admit they were even partly wrong are rare jewels indeed.

eskridtc 5 stars A sweetheart - love her readings! 


crazy4e 5 stars Thanks! This is my second reading with her, over a year ago she correctly predicted my ex and I not going back together at least I changed everything I am and sure enough that's what he asked of me and I met someone new a year after as she saw. She did see positive cards with F, relationship, love, but right now he is depressed, which is true, bc of an injury, and also he doesn't feel he is attractive enough for me. He will even put up with my occational bad temper!

I always enjoy your commentary on different aspects of the human brain and how we are all linked in some way shape or form.  It's true that ego gets in the way and everyone wants to be right but sometimes you need to know when to 'hold them, fold them or just walk away' to quote the song The Gambler.

Thanks Lollie! I think they all work together when you really think about it. Because in the end, it is not about being wrong or being right, but about understanding where the other person is coming from which simply makes you a better person.

Lollie i like this post. I am open to giving this a try as I am in a trying situation with an individual where we both think our way thinking or action is right and the other is wrong. Thanks for the post.

Thanks again Lollie for a very straightforward perspective. :) They also say that there is always 3 sides to a story, the two sides and the truth... It's so easy to make ourselves always right since that is the person we are most closely associated with, but sometimes it takes a bigger person to admit that we are wrong.. Thanks for the insight on such a special day! :)

As I often say - "Let's agree to disagree" when there is an argument that both are right and neither will stand to be wrong! I have family member who is ALWAYS right you just have to love them anyway ;) Thanks for the blogs and insight that you bring. You are a doll!!

In the big scheme of things does it really matter who is right and who is wrong.....The important thing is that he problem gets solved. everybody is different with different backgrounds, ideas, values and many other things. What is right for one may not be right for another.

In the past I used to think about the possibility of being wrong after losing my cool during an argument- this is where patience would come in for me. I have learned throughout the years that the things that I am not 100% sure of, to take my time at finding out the truth before loosing my cool. This generally saves a lot of hurt feelings on both sides.
